Have you ever felt invisible?

Provocative question and rather self centered in these hard times we are all living in, don’t you think?
Any-who, I wonder with all this turmoil, natural disasters, manmade ones too, the economy, the job losses, the foreclosures and everything else I bet many of us feel that no one is listening!
It’s only natural.
Crime is up; the people are restless and bored without a purpose in life.
You never could turn on the news without hearing how bad things were/are but that’s the news, right?
Dog bites man no story, now if man bites dog… there you go, that’s news!
Now no one has to look for news, since we the people are making it nightly!
And it does run the gamut, age, race and gender no longer influence who is doing it the wrong or illegal way they all seem to be!
I feel a wee bit sorry for those criminal profilers there seems to be no rhyme or reason for any of what anyone is doing, as if there is something toxic in the air…
Now before you Florida haters jump on that let me just say…NO THERE IS NOTHING TOXIC IN OUR AIR HERE, at least I don’t think so…

People are doing depressing stories on how obese Americans are; well who wouldn’t be if you were out of work, homeless and the only solace you have is the one legal drug to make you have comfort….FOOD!
But illegal ones are rising in popularity too, it seems weekly our small burg has an arrest at another ‘grow house’ usually within blocks or houses away from ours, with confiscation of pounds of this or that, grown right under the noses of innocent neighbors who are oh so surprised to hear that, since they were such very nice quiet people. Yes, they were busy getting high folks! That will keep you happy and to yourself.

Getting lost in the shuffle somehow seems today like perhaps a good thing, being ignored for lack of a better idea of how you fit into the greater scheme of things…
We can look at it this way… they missed my house during the drive by, they skipped us for the burglary, no peepers here, no tornadic wind sheer action here since our roof is still on, gosh we haven’t had one barking dog or any domestic disputes either …and that’s a good day, but it probably won’t make the news today or ever; too boring.
But little do they notice how ghost-town like most of our current neighborhood's are, and that alone could explain much of it…sadly!
Although, those same empty residences have been know to house those suspicious substances for manufacturing and warehousing, and prostitution brothels, homeless too… who knows what lurks behind those neglected looking vacant homes; a perfect camouflage?

And so that brings me back to my somewhat innocent question, oh yea, I almost forgot what it was; have you ever felt invisible?
Sure, hasn’t everyone!
So friends don’t dismay we are all feeling human beings with not that dissimilar emotions and sensitivities that create our own little depressing wars within, but you know something and this will help I really think so… nothing is new on this front either and for small awareness that we are truly NOT ALONE!
Always remember that the commonality of men and women are not something too far stretching to reach and for you as one person alone to absorb.

On that note of total confusion, I will wish you all a very good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
